SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:29 Min.
This live 1993 performance of 10,000 Maniacs comes from their MTV Unplugged album recorded from the same-named cable TV series. Natalie Merchant was still the group’s lead vocalist at the time.
REVIEW:
As compared to some of the group’s other tunes, this middle-of-the-pack effort doesn’t stand out. Its appeal instead lies with showcasing the vintage sound of 10,000 Maniacs at work from its Natalie Merchant era. That aspect alone makes “Stockton Gala Days” a worthwhile asset should one opt to acquire their MTV Unplugged album.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
